Priority is flat for wieghts under 5 lbs.  After that there is a 8 Zone system
(Zones 1-3 are all consider local with a single rate).

It should also be noted that for weights under 13 oz first class is the best
deal since priority startes at 3.20 for anything under 2lbs.  And shiping to
canada for low weights is not signifigantly more than shipping in the US
(average about 10% more).

My experience is that PM is a flat rate for the low lbs (4-5), then it
becomes variable depending on the distance. Heavier items (like two
buckets) seem to vary based on distance to destination (the post office
calls it zones). I have event seen parcel post come in (slightly) lower
than PM for certain weights/zones.

The difference between PM and PP is usually small. I sent identical
packages from Florida to oregon & alaska with the same rate.

(...) Which is true, however... I was told today that Delivery Confirmation only applies to priority mail or parcel post. No delivery confirmation on first class. I could have mailed an 8-oz package for $1.80 except that I could not get d/c. Ray (24 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
